Blue city officers flocking to cop friendly red states, police leader says; “Why would anyone stay?”
Top police union leader reveals why blue city officers are leaving for greener pastures.
Law enforcement officers in areas primarily run by Democrats continue to flock to red states for job security, better pay and bosses who will back them up, according to one police leader.
Joe Girardi is the National Vice President of the Fraternal Order of Police (FOP). He is an active lieutenant with the Fredericksburg Police Department, and he said police in blue cities are tired of facing hostility from local leaders.
Girardi emphasized that the trend began after the 2020 defund the police movement and said, in many cities, law enforcement officers are afraid to do their jobs in "critical incident" situations, even when they do them by the book.
"I think you can look no further than Seattle, Portland, Chicago and New York," he said. "All of these cities have basically told their police officers, 'We don't support you. We're not gonna be there for you when you need us. We're gonna try to defund you when given the opportunity.'”
